Corma directly integrates with Charlie for automated software access management, user provisioning, and Identity Access Management (IAM) as a service
Charlie is a modern, intuitive HR platform built from the ground up for small and growing businesses that want to manage their people operations without the weight of overcomplicated enterprise software. From streamlined onboarding and centralized employee records to time-off management, performance check-ins, and offboarding workflows, Charlie brings every core HR function into one thoughtfully designed system that teams actually enjoy using. Built on the belief that good HR software should feel effortless rather than overwhelming, Charlie empowers people teams to spend less time navigating admin and more time building the kind of workplace culture that attracts and retains great talent.
Access management failures in small and growing businesses almost never happen because of negligence. They happen because the process relies on people remembering — and people are busy. IT waits for HR to tell them someone has joined. HR assumes IT has handled a leaver's accounts. Nobody checks whether a promoted employee's old permissions were ever cleaned up.
Corma Charlie Integration removes the dependency on anyone remembering anything. By connecting Charlie directly to your application ecosystem, Corma ensures that every HR event — a new hire, a role change, a departure automatically produces the right access outcome across every connected platform. The process runs itself, accurately and completely, every single time.
Connecting Charlie to your access control layer through Corma means letting your HR data make the access decisions that IT teams currently have to make manually — faster, more consistently, and without the gaps that manual handoffs inevitably create.
When Charlie and Corma operate together, access becomes an invisible, automatic part of every HR workflow. A new product manager is added to Charlie, and within minutes every tool their role requires — project management software, communication platforms, analytics tools, documentation systems — is provisioned and ready. Six months later when they step into a leadership role, their access expands to match. When they eventually move on and their end date is logged in Charlie, every account closes the same day — without a single email, ticket, or reminder needing to be sent.
The employee data living inside Charlie — roles, departments, team memberships, contract types, start and end dates — is the most accurate and current picture of your workforce that exists anywhere in your organization. Corma makes sure your application access is an equally precise reflection of that picture, updated in real time, without any manual effort bridging the gap.
Organizations that manage application access separately from their Charlie HR data encounter the same recurring problems — regardless of how careful or well-intentioned the people involved are:
A broken first-day experience for every new hire — When a new starter appears in Charlie but IT has to manually action that information across every business application, the process is slow and prone to error. Employees arrive on day one to find missing accounts, incomplete access, and a first impression that sets entirely the wrong tone for the relationship ahead.
Permission debt that accumulates invisibly — Without Charlie driving automatic access updates, role changes and team moves add new permissions without retiring old ones. Employees quietly build up access profiles spanning every position they've ever held — creating sprawling, inconsistent permission sets that violate least-privilege principles and give potential attackers more surface area to exploit.
Former employees who remain digitally present — Processing a leaver in Charlie doesn't close their accounts anywhere else unless something connects the two. When that connection doesn't exist, departed employees retain active credentials in business systems long after they've left the building — one of the most common and most avoidable causes of a serious data breach.
An access landscape with too many blind spots — Across core platforms, SaaS subscriptions, and the shadow IT tools that employees inevitably adopt, maintaining an accurate and current picture of who can access what — without a connected HR system at the center — becomes an exercise in educated guessing rather than informed governance.
Compliance preparation that always arrives as a crisis — GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001, and similar frameworks demand documented evidence that access is actively governed. Without automated logging tied to Charlie data, assembling that evidence under audit pressure is a resource-intensive process that still leaves gaps a determined auditor will find.
Corma takes the real-time, always-accurate employee data inside Charlie and converts it into precise, automated access decisions across every platform in your organization's technology stack.
The right access provisioned before day one arrives — The instant a new employee is created in Charlie, Corma reads their role, team, and department information and provisions the corresponding application access automatically. New starters walk in to find a complete, functional digital workspace already waiting — no delays, no missing tools, no manual requests needed.
Offboarding that completes itself the moment it needs to — Corma monitors end dates and leaver records in Charlie and triggers immediate account deactivation across all connected applications the moment employment concludes. Platforms supporting SCIM or API integration are handled fully automatically; for others, targeted alerts ensure nothing is overlooked or left open by accident.
Permissions that always reflect the current role, not the entire history — Role-based access templates built around Charlie data mean every employee carries exactly the permissions their current position requires — nothing inherited from previous roles, nothing granted informally, nothing that hasn't been explicitly assigned to their current function. Clean, consistent, and always defensible.
A compliance record that builds itself every day — Every provisioning action, permission adjustment, and account deactivation is captured automatically in Corma's audit trail the moment it occurs. Compliance evidence accumulates continuously in the background — organized, timestamped, and ready to present at any point without any preparation effort from your team.
A live, unified view of access across your entire organization — Corma's dashboard maps every employee's Charlie status against their identity provider profile, active application access, license consumption, and recent activity — all in one place. Surface anomalies, spot dormant accounts, and catch permission mismatches before they become incidents worth reporting.
Define access templates for every role, department, and team structure within Charlie and let Corma apply them automatically whenever an employee is assigned. The right permissions follow the right people from day one — consistently, uniformly, and without any manual configuration sitting between the HR record and the application account.
Corma connects natively with Charlie and works in parallel with platforms including BambooHR, Breathe, Alexis, Altera Payroll, Access People HR, Personio, and Deel. Start dates, team assignments, reporting structures, and role details are read directly from Charlie to drive complete and accurate provisioning for every new hire — regardless of how quickly your headcount is growing.
Every status change recorded in Charlie flows immediately through Corma to identity providers like Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra, propagating from there to all connected downstream applications within minutes. No overnight batch jobs, no scheduled sync windows, no manual triggers — access permissions are always a live and accurate reflection of your current workforce.
Access events are permanently logged the moment they happen, building a complete governance record continuously and automatically. Generate compliance reports on demand, schedule regular access reviews, and walk confidently into any audit with a comprehensive, organized history of access management activity already prepared and waiting.
When Charlie records a departure, Corma acts immediately — initiating account deactivation across every integrated application simultaneously. No orphaned accounts, no credentials left active by an overlooked checklist item, no exposure window created by the lag between HR processing a leaver and IT getting around to their accounts.
Where traditional identity governance platforms require lengthy deployment cycles and dedicated technical resources before delivering anything useful, Corma delivers meaningful automation from the moment setup is complete. Connecting your SSO, Charlie, and identity provider takes around ten minutes — and access control starts working properly from that point forward.
Corma doesn't assume specialist identity engineers or enterprise IT departments. Prebuilt connectors and a straightforward setup process mean the team you already have can implement and manage the full integration without external consultants, specialist training programs, or months of configuration work.
Because Corma maintains a continuous, real-time sync with Charlie, every employment status change produces an immediate access update. A role change, a departure, a new hire — each one is reflected in application permissions the moment it's recorded in Charlie, with no manual step required to make it happen.
Rather than running separate tools for identity governance and SaaS management, Corma brings both capabilities into a single platform. One dashboard, one audit trail, one place to manage your entire access landscape — and demonstrate your governance program to anyone who needs to see it.
More than 100 businesses — including Brevo and Skello — have built their IT, HR, and Finance automation around Corma, achieving measurable reductions in the manual effort associated with onboarding and offboarding while keeping application access accurate, secure, and fully auditable.
Teams that have adopted Corma report near-complete elimination of orphaned accounts following employee departures, significantly fewer access discrepancies after role changes and team moves recorded in Charlie, and compliance audit preparation that has gone from a multi-day ordeal to a process that takes minutes. Whether every application in your stack supports full API automation or some require manual notification workflows, Corma provides complete, reliable coverage across the entire portfolio.
IT and operations teams at small and growing businesses who need a dependable, low-maintenance system for enforcing access policies across an expanding application stack — without the headcount growth that manual access management would otherwise require.
People teams using Charlie to manage the full employee lifecycle who want every joiner, mover, and leaver to trigger the right access outcome automatically — without HR having to coordinate with IT on every individual change.
Compliance and governance leads who need a continuously maintained, audit-ready record of access activity tied directly to live Charlie employment data — built passively in the background, available instantly when needed.
Scaling organizations that need access management infrastructure capable of growing with their workforce naturally — without the operational overhead that typically accompanies headcount growth in the absence of proper automation.
Initial setup takes around ten minutes. Once Charlie and your identity provider are linked, Corma begins surfacing access data immediately. Most organizations have full automation running across their application stack within a few days of completing the initial connection.
No. Corma is built around prebuilt connectors and a setup process that any capable IT generalist can work through independently. No outside consultants, no specialist certifications, and no extended implementation timelines are required.
Corma requests only the minimum permission scopes necessary for each integration to function, encrypts all stored credentials, and supports complete access revocation at any point. Every data flow between Charlie and connected applications is governed by enterprise-grade security practices throughout.
Absolutely. Corma reads team memberships, departmental hierarchies, reporting relationships, and role assignments directly from Charlie and maps them to the appropriate permission templates. When organizational structures evolve and those changes are recorded in Charlie, access updates follow automatically — no manual involvement required at any stage.
